To all whom it mag/concern.- 7 Be it known that I, DURELL ORVILLE PEASE,

a citizen of the United States of America, re-

spinning-machine to produce finer and sounder threads; and it consists in increasing the number of alternate stretchings and releasings given to the roving at each revolution of the twisting-head, so that the roving can be drawn finer and at the same time of more uniform gage without danger of breaking by reason of uneven and-violent drawing, and to increase the twist near to the twisting-head, so that the roving will be softer in comparison between the twisting-head and deliveryrollers, en-

abling a still further drawing and a still further increased twist to be given to the yarn,'s'o that a sounder and finer thread can be produced.

According to this invention the roving enters the axis of the twisting-head as it comes from the delivery-rollers at an angle, and on the top of the head are two approximately opposite pins, so that at each revolution of the twisting-head two alternatestretchings and releasings are given to the yarn, so as to give a practically continuous stretching and releasing action, thereby eliminating the disadvantages of relatively widely separated stretchings and releasings. 1

A still further improvement consists in a support or deflector arranged between the delivery-rollers and the twist-head and over which the yarn passes and is deflected before reachingthe twisting-head. The deflector or support is adjustable, so that the amount of deflection, and consequently the pressure of the yarn on the'deflector, can be varied. The

effect of the deflector is that an excess of or therefore increased between the deflector and delivery-rollers.

drawings, Figure 1 is aside elevation, partly in section, of the head of a spinning-machine.- Fig. 2 is a'plan, and Fig. 3 a front elevation, of the same.

In the accompanying sheet of illustrative The apparatus comprises the delivery-roll-' ers a, the twist-head I), and the drawing-rollers o. v The head I) is provided on its top with two axially-alined pins d at approximately op- .posite ends of a diameter. Asupport or (16-, flector e is fixed on the frame f, in which the head 6 rotatesand bears on the yarn between 'the delivery-rollers a and the twist-head b.

The yarn 9 passes through the delivery-rollers a, over the deflector 0, through the twisthead 6 to the drawing-rollers c. At-each revolution of the twist-head the pins 0Z come into contact with and stretch the yarn g and then release'it, so that two alternate stretchings and releasings are given to the yarn for each revolution of the twist-head. The effect of this construction is to give a uniform and practically continuous stretching and releasing action, resulting in a finer and more evenly gaged thread than is the case Wherethe stretch and release take place at appreciable intervals or, say, only once in the revolution of the twister-head. The yarn bearing on the deflector 0 causes the twisting action of the tWist head to be stronger on the part g of the yarn between the jaws of the head and the deflector-{and therefore causes the stretching action of the pins to be greater on the part g of the yarn between the deflector and the delivery-rollers as compared with the stretching action of the pins on the part 9 of the yarn.

C What Iclaim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is l In a spinning-machine and in combination, delivery-rollers, a twister-head having a plurality of yarn-engaging p'ins to'give a succession of alternate stretchings and releasings to the yarn at each revolution of the twisterhead, arigid yarn-deflector between the said delivery-rollers andsaid twister-head, means for adjusting said deflector to vary the angle of the delivery of the yarn to the twister-head, and drawing-rollers. p
